Vacuum Excavation Experts

VACMASTERS is the leader in Air-Vacuum Excavation Systems, having pioneered the use of high-pressure air delivered through our proprietary nozzles to expose underground utilities. Our underground utility locating equipment is designed to make a 12" x 12" by 5 ft. hole or deeper (called a pothole) in any kind of soil. VACMASTERS researches, designs, develops, and manufactures three major air-vacuum excavation systems. The SYSTEM 4000 is the world’s most powerful, designed to pothole in the hardest soils, including ground frost. Our SYSTEM 3000 offers you a mid-priced system with big-time power. The SYSTEM 1000 is our smallest Air-Vacuum Excavation System. It's designed for trailer or truck mounting and offers low cost, small size, and high performance. VACMASTERS also manufactures the SpoilVac, a directional-boring mud vacuum system with optional high-pressure water for digging.

All of our Air-Vacuum Excavating Systems have water on board as a back up; however, 95% of the time you will be potholing with air. All vacuum up the dry spoils for easy backfilling and eliminate the time and expense associated with mud disposal. For underground utility locating, deep soil sampling, or pipeline maintenance using keyhole technology, with no disturbance to the roadbase, there is no more economical, safer, faster, or cleaner way to expose underground utilities than with a VACMASTERS Air-Vacuum Excavation System.
